Eastern State Penitentiary hotels in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Not recommended: You can stay at Philadelphia in others hotels, from other brands, paying less and with better quality. I had also to pay for the parking (US20,00 a day) what is not necessary in other hotels. See all reviews for this hotel

Recommended: Not what I'd call a fancy, high-end hotel, but it was perfect for our family of four. Safe neighborhood and clean. Conveniently located walking distance from a great little shopping district and the science museum, we took a cab to the Liberty Bell/Indepence Hall area for $8. Nice little kitchenette in the room, very friendly staff and a great breakfast room that saved us from looking for a restaurant in the morning with hungry youngsters. See all reviews for this hotel

Recommended: Other than 2 of the 3 elevators being broken and having to walk down from the 7th floor to an outside fire exit as we were checking out and the person on the phone when it was reported not seeming to care... the rest of the weekend was very nice. The staff was cordial and professional. It's a great location and always a pleasure. See all reviews for this hotel

Recommended: This is a great downtown location. There are several more expensive hotels within walking distance but this is good basic accomadations. It is not fancy but there is everything you need. Plus the free WiFi is great, some more expensive hotels actually charge an additional fee for thier WiFi. In other reviews there are complaints of slow elevators but that must have been fixed because only once on my several trips up and down did I feel I waited for the elevator too long. This is a progressive hotel and the one thing I wished they had was recycling available at least on the floors if not in each room, but there are separated bins along the streets in downtown philly so that is workable. The parking situation is a bit of a pain too, the lot is around the corner and about $28 a day. If the weather were bad on my visit I would not have enjoyed walking a block with all my luggage.

Recommended: I chose this hotel for it's location, which was great. The service was wonderful, the room and especially bathroom beautiful. However, the bed was so soft I woke up several times (I tend to have back issues anyway) and the airconditioning was never cool enough. I reported the a/c problem my first day, and someone came up and looked at it, told me to keep it on the lowest setting (60) until I could get it comfortable. It never got there. Always humid, too. I'll probably try another downtown hotel next time. I love the area near Rittenhouse, so that was the best part. See all reviews for this hotel

Not recommended: Understanding that there was a convention in town, this was the only alternative. The room was cramped and the water pressure and hot water was almost non-esistent. Look at other options before selecting travellodge. See all reviews for this hotel

Not recommended: The room's heating never got above 65; the elevator service went out for hours; the room's carpet was coming away from the floor. It was a shabby and unmaintained property with an indifferent staff. Avoid. See all reviews for this hotel

Recommended: Our son just started grad school in philadelphia and we booked the hotel on line. When we arrived, we were extremely impressed with everything! We didn't lift a finger for anything! the staff is soooo friendly and helpful. The lobby is beautiful and inviting. It always has customers just sitting and enjoying the enviroment. It is going to be our only hotel in philly for the next two years! See all reviews for this hotel
